Write it 100 times: 'I will not wave my order paper'

Watching Prime Minister's Questions, I was struck by how much Michael Martin resembles an exasperated schoolteacher trying to control an unruly classroom when he calls for order. It made me wonder if it could be easier to control Parliament if he was allowed to impose detention on MPs who don't show any discipline. Nothing too draconian, just making them sit through a debate they wouldn't have otherwise attended and then writing a report on it afterwards, that sort of thing. Improving democratic scrutiny and letting the public see more of their representatives at work in the chamber - who could argue with that?
